Abstract:
Background And Aims
Non-specific chronic low back pain is one of the subgroups of low back pain. Pain, functional disability, and reduced muscle endurance are common in such patients. The objective of the present study was to compare the effects and durabilities of isolated and combined stabilization exercises and reflexology massage on pain and muscle endurance in patients with low back pain.
Materials And Methods
A quasi experimental study was carried out on 47 patients aged between 30-35 years who had low back pain. They were divided into four groups: the control group underwent routine exercises only, while the core stabilization group performed stabilization training, reflexology group underwent a reflexology, and combined core-reflexology group underwent complex intervention for eight weeks. The pain and muscle endurance were evaluated three times (before, post treatment, and after one month detraining). The data were analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), sample, and paired t tests.
Results
The results revealed that after treatment, the pain and trunk muscle endurance, improved significantly in core and core-reflexology groups and demonstrated durability, but reflexology has only effect on pain.
Conclusion
Considering the positive effects and durability of stabilization exercises on the reduction of pain intensity and increase in muscle endurance, it is recommended that this method be used in the treatment of patients with LBP.
